Police are searching for gunmen after a mass shooting tore through an informal settlement in Cleveland, Johannesburg, late on Tuesday night, leaving 12 people dead and nine others injured.
No arrests have been made yet, and authorities have not publicly named any suspects. The attack took place in one of the city's informal settlements, where residents often face heightened safety risks and limited access to security resources.
Johannesburg has seen waves of violent incidents in recent years, and attacks on informal settlements remain a painful and recurring reality for many communities across the city. As the manhunt continues, residents in the area are left shaken and waiting for answers.
